  Subject: JFW 6.01 Problems On A New Sony Laptop


  Hi All,

  I have just installed JFW 6.01 on a new Sony VGN-S400 laptop, running
  Windows XP Home, and have run into a couple of issues that I hope you can
  help with.

  I should mention that a wireless numb pad is combined with this unit.
  Setting up the numb pad seemed simple, but perhaps I did something wrong.
  Most things on the numb pad seem to work fine, but I am unable to use the
  commands for reading current line, word, and character.  I can't route Jaws
  to PC. I can't navigate in any fashion other than moving to the
  previous/next character and up/down a line.  I can't spell current words,
  etc.  Basically, it seems I can't do anything that combines the "Insert" key
  with something else.  Do you have any suggestions/thoughts?

  Another problem of immediate concern is the inability to know what a file
  extension is.  In the JFW training tutorial, he demonstrates going to a file
  with a RTF extension.  I followed his steps exactly, but no extension was
  heard.  I bet somewhere an option is marked to hide extensions.  I'm too
  tired to hunt for that tonight, but will investigate it tomorrow.

  I followed the instructions for configuring JFW to work with Windows XP
  precisely, as presented in the Help documentation, and even
  uninstalled/reinstalled JFW.  Nothing I do helps.  By the way, before
  installing this software on the laptop, I easily and successfully installed
  it on a desktop computer running Windows 98 SE.

  I look forward to any help you can provide.

  Katrina
